The Revolting Child in Horror Cinema

Youth Rebellion and Queer Spectatorship

von

The monstrous child is the allegorical queer child in various formations of horror cinema: the child with a secret, the child ‚possessed‘ by Otherness, the changeling child, the terrible gang. This book explores the possibilities of ’not growing up‘ as a model for a queer praxis that confronts the notion of heternormative maturity.
